Renwal '66 Pierce Arrow 4 door Exner concept

[realgone58]

Just restored this one from a builtup. Missing one spare tire and the separate side window frames are warped, but all in all it was salvageable. Not too often do you see one of these builtup. I am happy to have the box as well. Now to find the Jordan and the Bugatti.

VERY COOL!! and well done!! thanx for sharing!

Beautiful restoration of an unusual and fascinating subject.  Well done.

Those were some interesting kits.

Very interesting project! Funky spare wheel placement, but those wheels on the car look like actual spokes, in some pictures it looks like you can sees through the spokes. Are they?

Hmmm, I have that kit. Was considering letting it go at the next local swap meet. After seeing these pics, I might have to build it.

[Brizio]

Nice job!

[Tom99]

Nice build of a very unusual model, I like it.

[Harry P.]

Does the hood open? Is there an engine?

[Hubert Rollins]

Great job  on the save- but man, that is one ugly car. Were these real or is this a kind of concept deal?

They originally started out as a series of illustrations done by Exner for Esquire Magazine, though two of them, a Bugatti and a Mercer, were made into full sized cars.

Yes, they are actual spokes. 

[realgone58]

Does the hood open? Is there an engine?

Yes, but very vague detail, generic engine. I built it as a curbside for this reason. 

[Snake45]

Wow, you don't see those built every day!

[CometMan]

Excellent work on a very unusual subject, Alan! Exner sure had some "interesting" design ideas!

[Jonathan]

I've never seen one built.  Excellent work. 

[mangodart]

Very unusual, nice built and box art

[vintagercr]

That's pretty cool!

[bbowser]

The model is very well done, but that is one ugly design IMHO. 

[DumpyDan]

That is awesome, well done

[unclescott58]

Very nice. I like it. I love those Renwal Revival series models. I wish they'd come back some day.

[HotRodaSaurus]

Only the second revival I have seen built up, looks great. 

The profile looks vaguely like an E Type coupe(XKE), the sort of thing customisers had a go at in the 70s

Very unique piece. Love it. I've the Exner Duesenberg somewhere in my pile.
